This bedtime tale is just about that – bedtime and child’s little quirks before going to sleep.

Salsa, a happy little goat, can’t quite go to sleep. She tries to wake the birds, ducks and cows but they are all fast asleep. Finally, she enlists the help of Cork, the sheep who fails to help her.

Finally, Salsa wakes up her mummy. Soon, she's off to sleep, exhausted but happy.    

This book had to have been written by a parent. :-)

Excerpt

Now Salsa’s mummy was really cross.

I've had enough of this, Salsa. What kind of story do you want?”

“I want a sweet, gentle story to send me to sleep,” said Salsa.

“A story as sweet as grass … as sweet as flowers … and as sweet as the evening sun.”
